Multiscale Fracture Simulations for Composite Materials

For failure in composite materials the fracture mechanisms at the microscopic scale, such as matrix cracking, fiber cracking, fiber-matrix debonding or combinations thereof determine the growth of crack at the macroscopic scale. The goal is to develop a simple failure criterion in terms of a bilinear Traction-Separation Law (TSL) for...

Nano zero valent iron amended ceramic pot filters for enhanced virus and arsenic removal

Worldwide 748 million people lacked access to improved sources of drinking water in 2014, of this group almost a quarter relies on untreated surface water (WHO & Unicef, 2014). According to the WHO, simple, socially accepted and low-cost household water treatment systems (HWTS), such as the Ceramic Pot Filter (CPF), can provide a solution for...
